Petr Cech, Arsenal goalkeeper, says his side made a "very difficult" trip to Napoli "look easy" to seal a 3-0 aggregate win and reach the Europa League last four.


Alexandre Lacazette's first-half free-kick into the top corner earned victory on the night after the hosts had had the better of the early chances.

Cech said: "We controlled the game really well and defended really well too."

The Gunners will host Valencia in the first leg of their semi-final on Thursday, 2 May.

The goalie further said: "Napoli are a fantastic team who always score a lot of goals, especially here at home, so to keep two clean sheets is obviously something [positive]."

"It was a very difficult game but we made it look easier because we played really well."

The match against Napoli was Unai Emery's 50th as Arsenal Boss.
